1.
Yellow River 03:52
The waiters got angry for reasons Best known to themselves and their god So we bid adieu with the bill still due While they twisted the language of love Down to the old yellow river We go with our bottomless jug I drink to you and we listen To the cellar door slamming above And we know we are standing in the loop of a dream And we know the scars won't mean anything They don't mean anything I never wanted a mission Time and luck will run out on their own I get through and so will you We'll never pay back a penny we loan

Snowbird 02:25

Avalanche 03:12
It's in my head It's in the heart of my thoughts Sidelining all the things I ought to mind I don't care I don't care if it's wrong I'll just go pour it in a song to add To the avalanche Take all those years you don't need back Down to the avalanche Go fill your heart until it cracks I have seen I have seen what I am I only stand for what I can with ease And I am used, I am used by my words Freedom is all I haven't learned about From the avalanche
4.
Stand at the tree Bare to the knee & all aware Satellite eye, flickering line, solid air I know just how the seed feels after the ground is drowned Binded by weed the light can't satisfy me now I've been afraid but know it's over Let all the leaves fall soft and sweet upon the ground Let all the roots feast on us Stand at the tree Knuckles and grease in your hair Withered inside A shadow in time, is ever there I know just how the seed feels after the ground is drowned Binded by weed the light can't satisfy me now I've been afraid but know it's over Let all the leaves fall soft and sweet upon the ground Let all the roots feast on us
5.
If I make light of the things I love It's just fear of loss to abate All I need is the sky above And my loneliness is allayed I always take the long way round As happy in fields as cities or towns When I lose my way It's just a new way I've found So come with me and we'll put to sea There's a land out there to be built I'm not sure what life has in store But I promise now that we will Always take the long way round Be as happy in fields as cities or towns When we lose our way It's just a new way we've found So always take the long way round Be as happy in fields as cities or towns When you lose your way It's just a new way you've found
